The «ecreiary of state in his last
report give« the naui-s and capital
stock of '.'fit! corporations that were
formed in Oregon from January 1,
1902 to January 1, 1903.
Under
the old law they pan! a flat en-
t-ance fee of 15 an no license fee
Under the new law they will have
to pay an entrance fee dependent
on the capital »tc*ck of from $10 to
• 100 ai <! an annual license of from
♦ lit to ♦.‘to.
Foreign corporations must now
pay an annual fee of firm /IO to
♦200 before they can do busim-M in
Oregon. Just how many cor {•or
ations are doing busine»» in Oregon
is not known, as the old law re
quired no recor»! thereof The new
law will bring at least ♦50,000 into
the state coffers more than the old
o«*e.
The Sumpter Miner in speaking
of the preceding instituted bv the

Attorney J.
Schnabel, of Portland, has leen
authorize»! to act for a number of
corporations. l*oth
local

is to be file»! at once. A test case
will be made in the instance o'
some individual cor|ioration as
pinintiff and the secretary
of
state and state treasurer as defend
ant«.
In a recently publi«he»i interview
regarding the matter Mr. Schnabel
said.
“It is unconstitutional.
It is
double tnxition. and i.ot uniform.
It is called a license but is revenve-
prodocing.
‘ The seerrtary of state has de
manded a report from all corpor
ations doing busine«« in Oregon
That go» s so far as to mean that if
I write to Montgomery ’.Yard A
Co . in Chicago, to »end me a bill of
goo»ls they are liable for taxes in
this state.
Any outside cor|»or-
ation fi ling mail or»irrs would
be liable.
If a
corporation
in another state send a traveling

c<>r|>or.-ition would have to pay a
license
I believe the secretary of
state bold« that all corporations
doing ary 1 usiness whatever in
this state are included, but i un
derstand he ha« i eked Attorney
Genera) Blackburn for an opinion
a“ to how far-reaching the law is.
and if a corporation that ha» no
